You have wrapped the function twice with the decorator. Try changing the line
    print("before func() called")
to
    print("about to call", func,__name__)
and you'll see that the function it is about to call is not the same
in both cases.

You would get this output if you just called myfunc() twice. I don't
know why you expect wrapping the function twice to have this effect.
